713 Lady, I Swear It Isnt Me! (2/2)

Daoist You Ran, especially, shook fiercely as he stared at the woman who had clearly saved his life. He seemed to have seen her somewhere before, but after thinking very hard, he realized he hadn't. The sense of unfamiliarity she exuded was mingled with something familiar. The contradictory feelings shocked Daoist You Ran. In addition, when he stared at the woman, he felt as if he were a servant in the presence of his master. It was a troubling and confusing sensation.

Everyone seemed to be in a state of shock. As for Wang Baole, he was still retreating from the woman. He returned to the lunar stronghold. He stared at Chen Mofeng and Zi Yue, then turned his eyes towards the trembling Daoist You Ran. There was a stormy look on Wang Baole's face as he realized what was going on.

She's trying to agitate Chen Mofeng!

Little Missy mentioned the Star-Seeding Dao before… maybe that has something to do with why Zi Yue didn't kill Chen Mofeng. Her agitating Chen Mofeng might also be because of the Star-Seeding Dao? Wang Baole had no answers. However, he had a feeling that he was on the right track.

This also means… Zi Yue is the reason why Daoist You Ran resurrected! Emotions flickered across Wang Baole's face. The stress he had been feeling spiked instantly.

A Daoist You Ran fused with the Never-Ending Clan Death Dao Battleship was a disastrous threat to the Federation. Who knew… that behind that was an even more powerful entity!

To the Federation, this was like adding oil to fire. Wang Baole knew the details between Chen Mofeng and Zi Yue, which meant that Zi Yue wasn't as much a stranger to him despite her making her first appearance before them.

She's the one who stole Chen Mofeng's Star-Seeding Dao, hid on the Never-Ending Clan battleship, secretly controlled Daoist You Ran, and started this war! A murderous glow colored Wang Baole's eyes, and grim determination settled inside him. He knew that the Federation's odds remained grim despite the successful self-destruction of Venus.

Wang Baole wasn't the only one who realized that. As the destructive waves of spirit energy continued to spread across Venus and thundering explosions continued to grow louder and echo through the cosmos, as the fabric of space around the planet distorted, and as batches of Federation cultivators disappeared and were teleported to safety by the Solar System Array Formation, the remaining cultivators also felt the same!

Duan Muque was one of them. He stood inside the command center at the moment, staring unblinkingly at Zi Yue, who was standing in space before Daoist You Ran. He was unaware of Zi Yue's and the Night Immortal King's past history, but he could tell that something was wrong. He realized that the mastermind behind this war wasn't Daoist You Ran, but… this woman whom the Night Immortal King had called Zi Yue!

Others who had remained were Feng Qiuran and Li Wuchen. They were both silent, their eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.

As batches of Federation cultivators continued to be teleported away, Zi Yue suddenly sighed forlornly.

”I can't seem to find it!”

”My dear husband, why don't you help your beloved Yue'er find it?” Zi Yue loosened her hold on the brain and swiped through the air. Instantly, appearing within her palm was an illusory… bell!

The bell was black, and despite its illusory form, it exuded a near-imperceptible aura of a star. It was clearly something extraordinary!

”My dear husband, where is this bell? I've eaten your brain and crushed your heart, but I can't seem to find the bell. It's all your fault. Why did you seal it before your death? I can't sense it anywhere. Tell your beloved Yue'er, where is it?” Zi Yue appeared before Chen Mofeng as she spoke. There was a smile on her face, and Chen Mofeng finally couldn't take it anymore. He raised both his hands, hugged his head, and howled in pain.

”Stop talking, stop talking!”

A red glow erupted in Chen Mofeng's eyes. His true soul, which had been struggling to stay lucid, was immediately overpowered. The giant spiraled into madness, lifting his hands and reaching for Zi Yue.

”How boring.” Zi Yue shook her head slightly. Before the Night Immortal King's hands could touch her, she raised her right hand and tapped slightly. A thunderous boom erupted from the Night Immortal King's body. His armor shattered, and the runes on his body flared and overpowered him like a seal. He screamed in pain and fell, crashing into the lunar stronghold.

Zi Yue turned away from Chen Mofeng, her eyes landing on Wang Baole. There was a beautiful, evil smile on her face.

”You, the guy who has the Saint's eye. Is what I want with you?”

Wang Baole's scalp prickled. He shook his head frantically and exclaimed, ”Not a chance. The most beautiful, invincible lady in this entire universe, if you're not convinced, you can verify my words with your spiritual senses!”
